School Going-Ons

I didn't realize until last week that the Legislation prof calls on people by alphabetical order going backwards (from Z-A). I thought he randomly called on people so I was always prepared. Only after getting called on last week did I realize this pattern (5 weeks into the semester)! There's a reason they say students lose whatever common sense they had prior to law school. Whenever when we appear stumped in my Contracts class, the prof always asks, "What would you have said before you got to law school?" And sure enough, everything crystallizes. Anyway, now knowing he doesn't randomly call on folks makes my reading faster because when you're not on call, you read to get the gist versus reading in order to be able to regurgitate back to the prof. All of a sudden, I like this class much better!

One of my friends dropped out! Didn't see him after grades came out & when I asked around, found out he was done! I think he was burned out (came straight from undergrad) and that's too bad since he was a really nice guy.
